Changes to Alumni Communications & Engagement
The Alumni Association is committed to reaching you where you're most active. After gathering feedback from our alumni community and evaluating communications over the past year, it's evident that the Alumni Association newsletter, website, and social media channels are your preferred methods of staying connected with your fellow Patriots and SHS.
Based on these findings, we've decided to discontinue the Alumni Association's 360Alumni platform and streamline our approach to engaging with you. This decision will allow us to better serve your interests by focusing resources on communications you value most and continuing to expand our alumni programming.
Be sure you're in the loop! If you've activated your 360Alumni account at any time, we'll keep your information in our records. If you haven't used 360Alumni over the past several years or your information has changed, please click here to update your details and be sure to follow us on Instagram, Facebook, and/or LinkedIn.
We look forward to the ongoing evolution of this remarkable network while ensuring you have access to the latest alumni news, events, opportunities, and more.
Questions or concerns about these changes? Please send me a message.
Warm regards,

Stevenson Foundation Events Provide Opportunity for Alumni to Get Involved & Give Back
Did you know the SHS Alumni Association is one of the Stevenson Foundation's four programs?
The Stevenson Foundation is an independent nonprofit organization that helps ensure
all students can succeed here at SHS and beyond. Foundation programs like One Family and Stevenson to College (S2C) provide vital assistance and resources fellow Patriots need to reach their fullest and brightest futures.
To support these crucial, student-facing programs, the Foundation hosts two in-person fundraising events each year. On June 3, the annual Drive Fore Dreams Golf Outing will be held at Royal Melbourne Country Club in Long Grove. This year’s event will include 18 holes of first-class golf, breakfast, lunch, beverages, and on-course contests and prizes. On Friday, September 20, Nashville Unplugged will return to the Highland Park Community House for an in-the-round performance featuring some of today's greatest country and rock songwriters. In addition to an unforgettable music experience, the evening includes Nashville-inspired food and drink.
For more information about Foundation events, including sponsorship and volunteer opportunities, please contact Ashley Bunzol at ABunzol@StevensonFoundation.org or 847-415-4472.
